Apart from Alberta, Prince Edward Island is Canada’s fastest-growing province. In the last year, the population grew by a whopping 4 per cent — largely due to interprovincial migrants, immigrants, and non-permanent residents such as temporary workers, international students, and their families.
I have written a few times now on the opportunities and challenges that PEI faces due to rapid growth (especially in the context of housing), but I have not really discussed how those shortcomings often reinforce one burning demographic issue in particular: PEI is good at getting newcomers to move here, but bad at helping them stay here.
